Keyakizaka46: The 'Rika Watanabe post' #8....
Not a huge post but as I've said many times before need to lower my standards as there's 35 pics for today. Haven't done a Keya post for over ten days, to be honest just so disappointed the group's management cancelled their two Budokan concerts that were going to take place next week. All because of one member being hurt is the reason for that, the show must go on is obviously a phrase that isn't known in Japan.
But Rika is someone who I'm not down on and don't think I could ever could be, she finished eleventh on last years top faves list and would think for 2018 she would crack the top ten. And once again Rika's first photobook has done that which is making the top ten, last week it finished eighth on the Oricon charts with sales now at 56,612 copies sold, her Keya mate NN once again was #1 this week as her dales are close to 136,000.
The next 'Girls Awards' and 'Tokyo Collection' shows will be coming up in March and there's little doubt we'll be seeing Rika at both of them. For the past couple she's been there representing Larme and Lowrys Farm. But Rika is now also an exclusive model for Ray which means she should be taking a couple of strolls on the catwalk, though smallish these are superb pics from their site.
Don't think I posted Rika's spread from the February issue of Ray, that's what these pics are.
Another Rika set for February and these pics which look like outtake ones from her PB are from Brody. That fourth pic has been in another issue of the mag but the sixth pic with her reading a map(?) is my fave.
Really like this final spread which is yet another for the second month of the year and is from issue #262 of UTB. No recent CM's or anything along those lines but after the fabulous pics there's a short video of Rika from the set of the 'Tokuyama' drama.
